The functionality to display a status icon continuously still remains a requirement, and this is a zenity regression.
Reducing "zenity --notification" to implement just notifications (same as "notify-send") may be OK, but then a separate "zenity --trayicon" is required to maintain the functionality. The replacement "zenity --trayicon --listen" should allow to change trayicon, tooltip, menus, etc., and also to close/quit the trayicon without user interaction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to zenity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884011 Title: zenity doesn't show tray/appindicator icon Status in Zenity: New Status in “zenity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The functionality to display a tray icon with "zenity --notification" completely removed that functionality from zenity, instead of moving it into a proper "zenity --trayicon" feature. --- Ubuntu 11.10 zenity 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 In a script I use following line: exec 3> >(zenity --notification --window-icon="icon.svg" --listen --text="some text") so I can change the tray icon based on what the script does. What I expect to happen: "zenity --notification" should show an icon in the tray or appindicator. What happens instead: A "zenity --warning" style dialog window pops up.
